| + | Job.27 |
| + | |
| + | [1] And Job again took up his discourse, and said: |
| + | [2] "As God lives, who has taken away my right, |
| + | and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter; |
| + | [3] as long as my breath is in me, |
| + | and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; |
| + | [4] my lips will not speak falsehood, |
| + | and my tongue will not utter deceit. |
| + | [5] Far be it from me to say that you are right; |
| + | till I die I will not put away my integrity from me. |
| + | [6] I hold fast my righteousness, and will not let it go; |
| + | my heart does not reproach me for any of my days. |
| + | [7] "Let my enemy be as the wicked, |
| + | and let him that rises up against me be as the unrighteous. |
| + | [8] For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off, |
| + | when God takes away his life? |
| + | [9] Will God hear his cry, |
| + | when trouble comes upon him? |
| + | [10] Will he take delight in the Almighty? |
| + | Will he call upon God at all times? |
| + | [11] I will teach you concerning the hand of God; |
| + | what is with the Almighty I will not conceal. |
| + | [12] Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; |
| + | why then have you become altogether vain? |
| + | [13] "This is the portion of a wicked man with God, |
| + | and the heritage which oppressors receive from the Almighty: |
| + | [14] If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; |
| + | and his offspring have not enough to eat. |
| + | [15] Those who survive him the pestilence buries, |
| + | and their widows make no lamentation. |
| + | [16] Though he heap up silver like dust, |
| + | and pile up clothing like clay; |
| + | [17] he may pile it up, but the just will wear it, |
| + | and the innocent will divide the silver. |
| + | [18] The house which he builds is like a spider's web, |
| + | like a booth which a watchman makes. |
| + | [19] He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more; |
| + | he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone. |
| + | [20] Terrors overtake him like a flood; |
| + | in the night a whirlwind carries him off. |
| + | [21] The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; |
| + | it sweeps him out of his place. |
| + | [22] It hurls at him without pity; |
| + | he flees from its power in headlong flight. |
| + | [23] It claps its hands at him, |
| + | and hisses at him from its place. |
